Open Thread, July 18, Bravos vs. the Kirt Manwarings
With Minor going, one never knows. It’s raining in Midtown as I type, which is at 5:15. But they’ll probably get the game in amid scattered thunderstorms. 
Last night was disheartening. Just one game, but with Minor going tonight the odds are with the other guys. With this team, that often does not seem to matter, though. By the way, Chipper’s not in the lineup tonight. It does not appear to be anything serious. according to Bowman.
This team has some shortcomings that Wren needs to address.
If Tuesday was disheartening, what does that make last night?
I thought Minor pitched a solid game at least, which was nice to see. I stopped watching after the 9th when they had runners on 2nd and 3rd and one out, and failed to get the run in to win the game. Janish’s strikeout was absolutely pathetic; I hoped Bourn could get a hit at least but nothing there either…
